Hot flushes during menopause (day + night)
Hot flushes and night sweats are among the most common symptoms of perimenopause and menopause. Many women experience sudden feelings of heat, sweating, or discomfort during the day, as well as night sweats that can disrupt sleep.
These symptoms can vary widely — some women notice them occasionally, while others experience them more frequently or more intensely.
Hot flushes, night sweats and sweating are among the most common symptoms of menopause.
What do hot flushes feel like?
Hot flushes often come on suddenly. They may start in the chest or upper body and spread to the neck, face, or arms. Some women notice flushing of the skin, sweating, or a racing heart. Episodes are usually brief, lasting a few minutes, but they can happen multiple times a day or night.
Night sweats are hot flushes that occur during sleep and can lead to waking up overheated or drenched in sweat.
Why do hot flushes happen during menopause?
Hot flushes are linked to the hormonal changes that occur during perimenopause and menopause. These changes can affect the body’s internal temperature regulation, making some women more sensitive to small shifts in body temperature.
Over time, for most women, hot flushes reduce in frequency or intensity as the body adjusts. How long this takes — and how noticeable the symptoms are — differs from person to person.
Living with hot flushes
Hot flushes can feel uncomfortable, disruptive, and sometimes exhausting — especially when they interfere with sleep or daily life. Many women experiment with small lifestyle adjustments, layering clothing, or cooling strategies to help manage symptoms.
If hot flushes feel particularly disruptive or persistent, it may be helpful to explore support options and discuss what feels right for you, whether that’s lifestyle changes, non-hormonal approaches, or speaking with a healthcare professional.
